The link takes you to a page that begins by saying “Thank you for requesting a Stopover Buddy” and ends by saying “Please make sure that the e-mail that you register below is the same as you received your Stopover Buddy or E-guide confirmation to”. This implies to me that you need to do both, sign up for a Stopover Buddy AND enter your name and email on the page that comes up. But you can’t sign up for a Stopover Buddy unless you’re actually going to be in Iceland, which means you can’t actually sign up to get this deal…perhaps there’s something I’m misunderstanding?

So I just joined a Saga Club a couple months ago after reading one of your linked articles listed below a blog entry as “related”, then after joining, realized the date of the article was 2012! And being a loyal blog reader, my 1st impulse after reading today’s was to email to see if they’d match…I guess that categorizes me as a VTFW lemming (sheeple?)…LOL

Jumped on this offer early this morning, got the email with new account info about an hour later. 5,000 miles were in the account. I then used Points.com to exchange them into 889 jetBlue TrueBlue points. Not a great exchange but 889 more points than I had yesterday!
